IBM warns of 'design rule explosion' beyond 22-nmNews & Analysis 3/31/2010 Post a commentThe recent The International Symposium on Physical Design featured a warning from IBM about "design rule explosion," Mentor Graphics' pitch to the automotive sector and a proposal from a former Cadence Design Systems Fellow on using EDA to study the human brain.

IBM demos graphene optical linkNews & Analysis 3/29/2010 Post a commentIBM has fabricated an optical receiver using a graphene photodetector fabricated on silicon-on-insulator substrate consisting of a metal-graphene-metal field-effect transistor with an asymmetrical interdigitated source and drain using palladium and titanium, respectively.

Report highlights emerging 'killer apps' for MEMSProduct News 3/23/2010 Post a commentAn emerging set of killer applications of micro-electro-mechanical systems is on the horizon, according to Yole Development , which predicts that the total MEMS market will climb from $7 billion in 2009 to over $18 billion in 2015.

NASA proposes new air traffic control systemNews & Analysis 3/18/2010 Post a commentA new air traffic control system uses smart computer agents to make recommendations to air traffic controllers on how to reduce congestion and avoid bottlenecks, but leaves it up to human experts whether to implement the suggestions.

MEMS market declined by 5% in '09, says YoleNews & Analysis 3/16/2010 1 commentOverall the micro-electro-mechanical systems market shrank 5 percent in 2009 due to the recession in automotive and consumer electronics sectors, but innovation at Invensense, Panasonic and a few others stimulated growth, according to market research firm Yole Development.

Graphene's the right stuff for organic LEDs, says Stanford teamNews & Analysis 3/10/2010 Post a commentA Stanford team is claiming successful demonstration of an inexpensive, solution-based spin-coating dispersion technique for fabricating graphene anodes for organic LED displays, promising to sidestep indium tin oxide electrode shortages and clear the way for development of flexible OLEDs.
